Medusa's true name is only spoken once, but it is muted out. So we don't know what he was once called yet...
Medusa, with a face mask instead of a glowing fox helmet, is speaking with a boy around his age about how similar myths are to each other. He starts off by comparing the legends of Princess Kaguya and Hainuwele before briefly mentioning other myths. Then his friend asks if there are any myths that resonate with him.
And there is one. In fact, it is the very myth that Medusa takes his name from. Medusa the person reveals that Medusa the monster was really a nature goddess that was eventually twisted into the snake haired woman we know of today. The former interprets this as humanity conquering nature. He also equates the monster turning living beings to stone as death, the one thing humanity can never overcome.
Then he claims to have gotten off track, and goes back to talking about myths.

Medusa now knows everything about Medusa. Hooray.
He also knows the stories of Princess Kaguya and Hainuwele, and many variations, but he'll have to do research if he wants more than a general idea of where they come from.
What a strange outfit... He feels it's important to him, but how? (He's not planning on reclaiming it; it looks like something a member of Tashio or avante would wear.)
Was he an expert on these myths? No wonder he likes learning so much.
